The police should be involved. Passing a polygraph test does not mean that one did not do it, nor that one will not e charged.

At this point, you need to talk with the police or the prosecutor. You should take your daughter to a doctor for an exam for physical proof of the crime. The police and prosecutor should know that a lie detector test is not reliable and is not evidence of guilt or innocence.

You would need to get more evidence. Lie detectors are not admissible in court but the police often use them to weed out suspects.

You have to deal with the authorities and seek to have them continue the case. You con also offer that your daughter would take the same test as the person she accused.
